| Diane, I just completed the last PTP. Congrats on passing the test.
Finding a sponser will not be easy. I was fortunate; my present
group agreed to sponser me. I second Debbi's comment, contact Joanne
for some help, however, she might not be able to help alot.
I can put you in touch with a couple of people in my class who found
sponsers. It was typically a tough search. I'll call you tomorrow
(thursday).

| Diane,
I also just completed the last PTP, and Mike is right, it can be
a very tough search to find a sponsor. It took me about 1 year to
find a sponsor and another year of working for my sponsor as the
group software librarian. The reason that it took so long was that
I was not in an MIS invironment. I was a secretary and first had
to concentrate on getting a job, any job, in an MIS group. The group
that I am in now has sponsored about 5 PTP people.
If I can help in any way, let me know. And GOOD LUCK. I hope it
doesn't take you the two years that it took me!!

| Are D.I.S. manager's the only people whom can be PTP sponsors?
What is involved in being a sponsor?

| Seeing as how the sponsoring manager foots the bill for the training,
a manager is not going to sponsor someone unless they are going
to keep them in the group at least for a year or two as a programmer.
Any manager can sponsor someone, but usually only DIS managers need
programmers. The sponsor also has to guarantee the PTP student a
job when the training is complete.

| Kerstin,
I too just graduated from PTP with Mike and Nancy. I passed the
test last July and found a sponsor (or he found me) the week before
the class started in September. I was in sales support and had
just returned to the office after a week at DECworld. I got a call
from VRO on Tuesday asking if I'd be interested in interviewing
on Thursday; I had just gotten back from the interview when Personnel
called with the offer, and I started class the following Monday!
So, my advice to you is KEEP THE FAITH! Let everyone know you're
looking for a sponsor, get names of contacts in MIS and send out
your resume--but also be aware that sponsoring managers contact
VRO directly for candidates and your resume may find its way to
a sponsoring manager's desk!
GOOD LUCK!

Can anyone tell me if this program is still alive and well?
Or maybe direct me to where I can find out more current info
on this program?
Thanks,

| PTP BIT THE DUST. Because of a lack of sponsors and a surplus of
entry level programmers the program has been disbanded last July.
